Prison sentences for dealing hard drugs should be in line with prison sentences for murder, otherwise the implication is that the lives of drug users are much less valuable than the lives of regular people.
Usually trade policy is an attempt to reconcile two conflicting goals:
1. To protect your own industries/producers
2. To grow your export markets abroad
They are conflicting, because growing export markets (by striking trade agreements) often requires concessions that may damage sectors of a state's internal market. States attempt to strike the right balance of protectionism and free trade.
The Brexiteers' trade policy seemingly values neither protectionism nor free trade. They do not care if they damage UK producers by flooding the UK market with cheap imports. And they do not care if they damage UK exporters by throwing away all the UK's trade agreements and reverting to WTO terms.
Why? Because they do not care about trade or industry. For ideological reasons they wish to turn the UK into a low-tax, low-regulation state. Trade and industry are a mere inconvenience to them.
The irony is that the UK was already becoming such a state while it was in the EU, and the loss of financial passporting is extremely damaging to the City and thus to the Brexiteers' project. They just haven't realised yet.
The parent is absolutely correct that the pro-Brexit politicans are using the working poor as their useful idiots.
This is really not accurate. You can certainly have a career as a solicitor that specialises in prosecutions, the Crown Prosecution Service employs vast numbers of them. You can also have a career as a criminal defence solicitor. The barristers are there to present the case in court.
To OP: please add an easy way to see providers from the home page without having to enter personal information!
If the former, then the action of a member state deciding to leave the EU could not remove EU citizenship from individuals, any more than one someone holding joint French and British citizenship could have their lawful French citizenship voided against their will by an action of Britain.
If the latter, then EU citizenship is not really a separate concept per se, but merely a term to describe an individual who has national citizenship of an EU state at a particular moment in time. Their individual rights exist through a layer of indirection: individuals derive their EU rights from their national citizenship only.
I believe the latter is closer to how it works in practice, however I can definitely see how such an interpretation could sit uncomfortably with the EU -- if there is no legal relationship between individual EU citizens and the EU, then one could start to doubt whether the EU itself is an entity per se, or if it is just a convenient term we use for the collective effects of the treaties between member states.
When I first subscribed to Google Play Music, in the UK, it included "YouTube Music Key", which had the same feature to allow YouTube videos to play in the background, and it worked just fine in the UK.
Then they rebranded YouTube Music Key to YouTube Red, and since YouTube Red isn't available in the UK for legal reasons unrelated to backgrounding YouTube videos, they disabled the backgrounding feature in the UK, even though UK subscribers are still paying for a YouTube Red subscription (that cannot be used in the UK).
The problem is that most calculus courses were devised before the widespread availability of Wolfram Alpha and focus too much on hand computation rather than understanding of the subject.
The problem is that most of the time, ad-supported websites become experts in creating clickbait and lose their ability to create content that worth any money. It is the ads that are killing the ad-supported web, it is a race to the bottom.
Whoever Satoshi is, he's probably not a Keynesian.

So the answer is a resounding yes, it is much easier to build metro systems than it was in the past. As long as you do so in China.
* Open dialogs
* A limited number of files that have been opened in the past via open dialogs (intended for e.g. recent files)
* Files that live in the app's sandboxed region of the filesystem.
That's it. So your text editor can't open ~/.bash_profile unless it pops up an open dialog and asks you to manually click it.
So users have been trained to not use the App Store, where apps have to go through an approval process, and instead to install software from the wild west of random websites.
The fact is that Macs are not phones, the iMac Pro costs six thousand dollars, and expecting users to use the crippled selection of software from the App Store is unworkable. Nobody pays six thousand dollars to play candy crush.
